    • He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him, the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable an ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder. - Albert Einstein

    • Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. - George Bernard Shaw
    • Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. - On Joy and Sorrow, The Prophet, by Gibran Khalil Gibran (1923)
    • Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar. - "Julius Caesar"
    • Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable. - U.S. President John F. Kennedy

    • Black holes are where God divided by zero. - Steven Wright
    • Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. - U.S. President Thomas Jefferson
    • Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. - Sir Walter Scott
    • Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. - Anonymous
    • People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. - Anonymous
